Fountains, ponds, pools, and other water features are easy to add to any
SketchUp model. Rendering these features can pose some
very interesting challenges.
In this brief video I'll discuss an easy to learn and use technique that can be applied to a SketchUp surface to illustrate water with realism. Additionally, I use a light balancing feature to post process my original rendering, providing me with a nice daylight image of the model and an evening image. The benefit is that I am able to achieve a rendering with realistic water and I get two renderings after processing only one.
This model was created with Trimble SketchUp and I used IRender nXt to generate the renderings.
